Plasma Active is openly developed Free software.
Its reference implementation builds on the Mer operating system
and runs on a number of devices, including popular x86-based
tablet computers and ARM-based hardware such as the Archos G9 series.

Maybe it is something I fail to get so I do welcome a big laugh LOL
if it is not what it did seem to my naive reading. _________________I use Google Search on Puppy Forum

Hehe I have no idea what it is . I am not that bright.
One guy somewhere on internet told that it had borrowed
from BSE and IOS and Android? but that it where independent
of these. Maybe he wanted to create a flame war and just teased?

I trust the links should have all info needed. Reading wikipedia
I got the impression it is just another overlay but that is not how
they present it is it. So I would love that someone really getting it
would explain if it is a new thing or not?

Haha I am a pessimist. There only exist one OS and that is Unix
and variations of Unix? Just teasing.

edit When I where much younger I had a CP/M computer
but the commands did look almost as twin to DrDOS or MsDOS

where these really that much different from Unix?_________________I use Google Search on Puppy Forum

I have not looked there since a long long time
so I had no idea it even existed.
Those who develop TinyCore
are usually very cautious about any spin off
and have been very critical to such attempts
but wow august that is a long time and
his thread is still there so that guy must have
done something that they accept as okay to them?

So have any of you done a frugal install on NTFS
using core 17 or maybe it does only work on ext3?

Edit. I where wrong. He got in trouble with the TinyCore forum rules too.

So not sure what that means. Typical of TC forum to not explain
what it means.

Edit 2

Got it to boot on NTFS using the ntfs-3gz.gz something
But I find the E17 Enlighten to be slow on my Netbook
compared with the original Core-plus I write from Core Plus now
but don't understand much of it. I used maybe a crazy way to boot
I give details later have to reboot first. _________________I use Google Search on Puppy Forum

Turing Linux is an operating system (OS) comprising a minimal base just sufficient to support VirtualBox (VB), providing quick access to other OSs. This is useful for teaching or learning GNU/Linux and for testing or exploring other OSs, without having to re-boot to switch between them. Multiple OSs can be run at the same time. It has 4 layers, ranging from the CLI-only core (and no VB), to core + GUI, to core + GUI + VB, to the enhanced layer which includes a few tools to make the distro usable for a few other basic common tasks (such as web browsing). Any of these layers could be used as a starting point for a new distro. Each layer also contains Remastersys which can be used to generate an ISO file of the current system.

Is it just me or has the community noticed the PCs that are being used by community members. They are using advance/current platforms which have much RAM and enormous CPU/MB capabilities.

This community may need to splinter into 2 groups: Those who have processors since 2006 with RAM all the way to 64GB, and, those who have pre-2006 PCs.

The distro developers must also continue to announce which class of PCs they are building and intend to support with their distros. The world of PCs have become much too broad.

And, lastly, even though I have publish little about it, KVM ability in CPUs have been around commonly since 2006. Maybe we'll need to splinter that off into "Virtual Puppy OS processing with KVM" and "Virtual OS processing without the assist feature".

We are approaching a time when we should begin to anticipate the coming wave of Touch implemented OSes that is changing what we do (whether we like it or not, change is ALWAYS met with resistance.....ALWAYS!!!)

Yes I get that I should be able to google KVM
but felt unsure about it. Maybe you can edit
your post to include some explanation?

Netbooks are rather new but they are often
only 1GB at most and cheaper CPU that is
one kernel instead of 2 or 4 and most likely
not KVM eitehr whatever that is.

But they are very new I bought my three 2009 and 2010?
and the oldest maybe 2008?

so will 2006 really help?

and another thing. Each time somebody tell Developers
to do something then we lose then and they almost never get back
so I would prefer that one always praise and cheer them and never
ever tell them what they should do. We can not afford to lose them
that carelessly._________________I use Google Search on Puppy Forum

I'm giving that one a try now as I've been looking for a good Arch-based distro for a whole now (ArchBang wouldn't install on my machine for some reason).

It's fast and works well but for me the default theme is way too dark and it's difficult to lighten it (I couldn't find a way to change the top button bar, even though everything else could be altered).

A number of distros seem to be almost black by default now, including ArchBang and CrunchBang; maybe it's a fashion or something but for me it's not a good one as it looks bleak and it's damn difficult to see what you're doing on an old monitor..

Thanks, Surprise that that version of Bloathy produce ä and ö
on an English keyboard?

Yes, oops! It must have selected the wrong keyboard when it loaded. Sorry to anyone who struggled to read my post. It's a good distro anyway even if I can't use it at home at the moment.

I'm testing out Solus and Saline at the moment, two distros based on Debian. Saline uses XFCE as its desktop manager whereas Solus uses Gnome 2 instead. I like the look of Saline a bit better (lovely wallpaper of a school of dolphins swimming underwater, for a start), but Solus comes with Firefox as standard whereas I couldn't find a way to install Firefox from the live disk, so Solus was the one I installed.

It's my first day of using it but already it looks very impressive.

A quick update here; I'm now testing Saline (1.7). It's one of the best looking distros I've used but unfortunately it only uses "free" aps (i.e. not firefox, opera etc.) and Iceweasel crashes on youtube sometimes so I installed Iceape instead. You have to install flash too (I used flashplugin-nonfree).

they write
Tomáš Matějíček has announced the availability of a public preview release of Slax 7.0, a Slackware-based live CD with KDE 4 in under 180 MB: "So here it is. A small lightweight KDE, recompiled with as few dependencies as possible. I've partially completed my battle with the KDE desktop environment. There is a lot of work waiting in the queue, since there are no applications yet except Konsole; however, it is ready for wider public testing.

James C,..
VectorLinux has always been my all-time favorite for a "bigger" distro than Puppy (when I need a bigger distro than Puppy, that is...which isn't too often). However,....my VectorLinux 7 standard install CD seems to have gotten corrupted somehow. It no longer will install <alas>

I have just broke down and installed Slackware 14,....then used a LOT of the apps off of the VectorLinux CD to "flesh out" Slackware. Stuff like Opera,...Flash,...Win32 codecs,...and the Wine package, (from the Salix repositories). Seems to work fine.

Plus,...Doing a full install of Slackware,..with KDE and the KDEgames (then using just the smaller XFCE desktop)...gives me the games for my grandson,....but a smaller DE for me. But I actually prefer VectorLinix over Slackware.
